Lorry Driver Hit By Three Vehicles On M5

A lorry driver has died after being hit by three vehicles on the M5 motorway in Gloucestershire.

Police say none of the drivers who hit the man stopped after the incident - and that it’s possible they aren’t aware they collided with him.

He was struck after getting out of his own vehicle on the southbound hard shoulder between junctions 14 and 15 near Bristol.

He was apparently hit by a lorry and then two cars, said Avon and Somerset police.

Two lanes of the motorway have been closed by the incident, which happened at the start of this morning’s commuter rush hours.

Detectives say they are treating the motorway “as a crime scene.”

Police are trying to trace the vehicles involved in the incident and are urging witnesses to contact them on 0845 456 7000.

Our condolences to the family
